I've caught one trout catch and release ,on a dry fly , may fly imitation in brown colour , the river was at a low level and the water extremely clear ,it was almost impossible to get close without to spook them . I have seen plenty of fish, it was a very nice fishing day

A lovely session today on the little wild , very wild Clywedog Brook!!! Fished midday till five ... me thinks Mr Otter had been gallivanting in some areas in the lower beat .... not a sausage in the usual pool heads... and fresh prints in the bankside silt !!!
Still, further up, sport was mega fun on my six foot one weight, which is ideal for here ....
Not sure when this little brook had some attention ie. In the form of some cutting back etc etc .... needs it,big time .... Can I suggest a wild streams board is put up at WUF HQ, with beats that need some attention .... tbh it's probably most of them in fairness ... They're not only the wild streams , but nurseries for the bigger Wye and Usk ... let these tribs go to pot, and there's no hope for salmo trutta then !!! Anyway, moving on, great dry fly sport ..... and lots of leg work today, nearly the full beat done, not quite sure where it ends but hey ho, no worries !!!
Fish between five abd eleven inches today.... I love there aggressive attitude here... they absolutely nail the dry... mind you, its gotta be presented right and the right fly for the occasion.... favourites got smashed here today!!!! Lots slipped off before the net !!! If you're prepared for quite bits of water with Mr Otter running the show here, either Fish it through quick and you'll soon know where he's been swimming up too !!!
Fifteen or sixteen to the net this afternoon , a lovely dry fly session , back to Rhayader and I think this angler deserves a cold pint of Inches cider in The Crown.....Rounds off a lovely Saturday..... sorted !!! Another of these cracking little streams on Monday .... maybe an Usk tributary ......

Just a short session before the thunder storms arrived, which they did.. Plenty of fly coming off the water and a few fish rising, although manage to bump everything.. (on other those trips..) First time I've fished that beat so as much a recce as anything. A nice beat with reasonable access, some nice long runs which with a little more water on them could fish very well. As well as some long gutters that will be well worth a look in Grayling season. A 10ft or longer rod might be a bit of a hindrance as there's plenty of over head tree cover.

Certainly a beat I'll be revisiting.

Perfect river conditions. Lovely long beat with varied water.c Black Frenchie, s24 purple perdigon and rainbow warrior doing the business. Most brownies about a pound but one nearer 3lb. Beautiful condition fish. Just a shame with so much fly life - mayfly, midges & caddis no fish consistently rising.

Didn’t start fishing until 5pm. Hard going. Plenty of fish showing later on but they weren’t interested in most of our offerings. Few takes and lost one on small pheasant tail nymph . First time here but nice stretch of water .

Beautiful location in the heart of Wales. Tricky fish to catch but worth the effort. Llyn Teifi was the most productive this time. All fish coming to a small black hopper.
